First post on this forum. I just purchased my first Montblanc fountain pen at an Estate sale and I’m trying to determine the model and value for this pen. This pen was purchased by the original owner in the late 80s, early 90s.

Top band says Germany, Mid band says Montblanc-Meisterstuck. Nib says 4810 18k Montblanc 750.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I agree it looks like the older version of a Meisterstück Classique or 144 as they were also known. It's a cartridge or converter filler. No longer in production and has been replaced by the 145 or new Classique with screw cap

I agree, it looks like the older style 144. FWIW, this was my entry pen into this obsession. My wife gifted my a 144 in the early 90's, my first fountain pen since those Sheaffer Cartridge pens in Jr. High in the mid 60's. I wrote with the 144 for more than a few years and then started searching for finer nibbed pens; now that was a rabbit hole!

 

Your pen will work with cartridges or a converter. It should be a nice writing pen. Good luck with it. And welcome to the obsession!

May we live, not by our fears but by our hopes; not by our words but by our deeds; not by our disappointments but by our dreams.

I like the photos you shared, as they provide a clear idea about your nice pen.

The monotone 18K gold nib looks great!

May it be an enjoyable writer for you.

Thank you all. This is exactly what I was looking for. I will be looking for a Montblanc Ballpoint Pen in the near future as well.

 

What did I get myself into...

:D Don't worry, that question is just like the initial rash... and it subsides quickly. You'll forget you ever asked it.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
